## Description

A simple yet profound guide to establishing a transformative and sustaining Zen meditation practice. Zen master Julian Daizan Skinner guides the listener through a sequence of meditation techniques that can safely lead even a complete novice through to advanced levels. Based on his own long experience of the Rinzai Zen tradition, as taught by the great seventeenth-century masters, Hakuin and Bankei, Daizan highlights the key points for success and addresses the pitfalls. Structured around a traditional teaching framework called " The two wings of a bird," Daizan clearly lays-out how these methods build and combine to create a transformative and sustaining practice. The work of a master, the audiobook speaks at a deep level, with utmost simplicity. (P) 2021 Jessica Kingsley Publishers
